Medeek Wall Plugin
-
I was also wondering if anyone had any thoughts on kick plates for doors. Is this something anyone is interested in?
-
Version 4.2.7 - 01.26.2026
- Added a kick plate option for all swing doors (rectangular and arched).
Yet another update following up on a customer request. Probably not the highest priority on my list but a welcome addition for those that need this feature.
The kick plate(s) can be positioned on the exterior, interior or both sides of the door. The height and thickness is configurable. For now the margin at the edge is hard coded in at 0.75 inches (width is auto calculated based on door size). The material (ie. brass, nickel etc...) is configurable the same way the door hardware is.

Version 4.2.8 - 01.27.2026
- Added the following steel column types to the column module: Round (HSS), Pipe (NPS).
Update per customer request.
You can now add round steel in-wall columns into your Medeek walls. These aren't actually lally columns since that specific product is typically installed with an adjustable screw assembly. However for most design purposes I think showing the round column like the image above will suffice.

Version 4.2.9 - 01.30.2026
- Added a base plate (top and bottom) option to the post module.
- Fixed a bug in the post module related to hardware caps and bases.
- Updated the bypass door opening algorithm so one can open both sides of the door.

Version 4.3.0 - 02.01.2026
- Added a base plate (top and bottom) option to the in-wall column module.
- Added "Opening Outline" options to the General tab of the Global Settings for windows, door and garage doors.
The option to set the opening outlines as regular edges or dashed (construction lines) was requested by a user. This option only changes the outline created at the top of the wall, it does not change or remove the door swing symbol or the garage door extent outline (dashed construction line).
I’m trying to not add more parameters and options but users always contact me with something new they need. Everyone has their own workflow or the way they want things to appear in Layout. Flexibility and a smorgasbord of options is critical but at the same time it does balloon the number of parameters and increases complexity which tends to scare away some potential users.
I always tell new users to not be frightened of all the options, if you don’t know what it does then just leave it as default, that is generally your safe bet.

Version 4.3.1 - 02.02.2026
- Added a six panel option for pocket doors.
- Added a six panel option for bifold 2 and bifold 4 doors.
- Added a six panel option for bypass doors.
-
Version 4.3.2 - 02.05.2026
- Added flat panel options for pocket doors.
- Added flat panel options for bifold 2 and bifold 4 doors.
- Added flat panel options for bypass doors.
I think that finally completes all of the door panel options for all the other non standard door types (rectangular doors) within the Wall plugin.

- Added the following Simpson Strong-Tie anchor bolts to the wall, column and shearwall modules: SABR58-24, SABR34-26, SABR78-28, SABR1-30, SABR114-32.
These new anchor bolts are included in the new Wood Construction Connectors Catalog (C-C-2026) for 2026.
These low poly versions of the anchor bolts are based on the models provided on Simpsons website.
